Miss Selfridge Fashion Trends for Spring Summer 2006

This page features elements and press images from the spring 2006 Miss
Selfridge collection. Miss Selfridge is owned by Arcadia in UK. These
fashion looks are much softer than previous collections and reflect the
trend for more ladylike styling. Despite this there are plenty of urban chic
elements that make for city wearability.

Summer Love-In

Wrap yourself in braces and
patchwork with an eclectic collection which proves you dont have to be
matching to be chic.

Miss Selfridge

Floral print chiffon dress £40 59
Red peep toe wedge £45 67

Oversized shirts are worn with wide leg pants whilst
delicate knits create a soft line under masculine dungaree shorts and the
little girl in us all is given a voice with flirty dresses and floaty cotton
and voile.

Jet Setter

A modern take on the cruise wear
style of the 1950s sees crisp, pretty pieces with clean cut
blousons and
boxy jackets. With red, white and blue forming a core palette mixed in with
sunny yellow and grass green for a flash of graphic inspiration. Prints are
mixed and layered the pencil skirt is modernised with pinafore braces and
denim is raised from the hips to sit firmly on the waist.

Haute Hippies

Bohemian
chic is given some summer loving with rock star metallics and fondant
fancies. Camisoles and petticoats, washed denim and tailored jackets keep
silhouettes simple and reminiscent of the coquettish style of the 70s.
Colours are soft and muted and summer dresses are strapless and puffball or
wrapped and belted worn with cardigans and beads.

Miss Selfridge

Fluted camisole £30 45
Victoriana maxi skirt £40 5

Supernova

Miss Selfridge

High
waist jeans £38 57
Braces £12 18
White cotton blouse £25 37

The seasons need for a masculine
touch is viewed through rose tinted glasses with the collection mixing
shorts with sashes and tailoring with trimmings. Watercolour prints in muted
tones sit with vintage skinny denim and lurex knitwear and ruffled sleeves
give character to cleaner lines. Think soft and dreamy, a collection for
running away
